There are so many people that are consumed by the rat race of life.They are forever trying to find a way in which to possess senseless things which can never bring true happiness and fulfillment, and throughout the process, they have lost things which are truly valuable. They end up being so overwhelmed, depressed, and purposeless despite all they have achieved.
Tabata Yukio used to be one of them until one day when he finally had enough of it. He discovered minimalism in 2004 at the lowest point of his life when his business went bankrupt. He has found his deeper meaning of life through minimalism after years of incessant learning and self-discovery. Now, he has dedicated his life to helping others achieve the same as well.

I love the whole decluttering concept and appreciate "Ma", the space between things so they stand out. Too many objects doesn't allow special things to pop. There were typos, perhaps from translation. The last third of the book was promo for another book. If the book was better edited and stood by itself without devoting so much space to advertising another book, I would have given it a higher rating.
Enjoyed the concept of Ma and Japanese Minimalism. It is a book written in a simple format, for anyone keen to understand the topic. Although I feel, within the last 2 years, there are many more aspects to decluttering especially in our work and digital tools. The book is only written 50% for this topic, the other 50% is about his new books. So just need to be aware of this, if you are keen to purchase the book.
I began implementing some of these suggestions immediately
I have always had a hard time getting rid of things. The idea that I will need it again one day always in the forefront of my mind. I love how this books the reasons why we hang on to materialistic things and how to help curb those cravings for things we don’t need.
A bunch of stuff without substance gathered in a ‘book’. I could get more information from a well-written article. One of the worst books ever. And one third of it has previews with the other two books written by the authors. You should be crazy to read another one.
I was very confused by the fact that about 40% of his book consists of previews for the next two in the series. Seems quickly put together to get some cash and plumped up to look lengthly... I feel a bit cheated.
Fumio Sasake's book was a lot better in its practical applications and approaches towards cleaning up your space. This book was okay but not detailed enough. I recommend Goodbye, Things if you are serious about wanting to free up space around you.
